Following the call from the Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church to prepare to offer support to those most affected by the ongoing situation in Ukraine, we join in the global prayer for peace and justice, and also for the strength to offer ourselves in the service of others.
O God, the divine seeker, you are light to the lost, bread to the hungry, deliverance to the captive, healing to the sick, eternal vision to the dying, and harbour to every soul in peril.
Gather all those who are facing fear, hunger, oppression, death and injury through war and violence into the community of your mercy and grace.
We lift up to you those in Ukraine and throughout the world who cry for justice, peace and renewed hope.
Grant us the strength and will that with grace and compassion we may respond with your love.
Amen.
